The recent medication changes has calmed my brain down. I’m still feeling caged up, I know my psych is looking at more frequent therapy sessions if we can get more under ED plan. Once a month sessions aren’t enough. It just feels like the traumatic memories aren’t ending, I’ve been in therapy for years. It’s taking so long to heal. I just want to get to the point the body flashbacks aren’t so regular

@creative_writer Heading to bed. Think I’ll read for a little while or maybe I’ll just listen to BBC radio. See how I feel.

Hoping to sleep at least 6 hours tonight. @creative_writer Yes it’s harder to see friends when you’re an adult. Oh well mostly I like my own company. Ordered some more plant seeds this afternoon.
Trying to wind down now. But it’s warm. Might have to get a sheet out rathervthan my quilt.

I’m very good @creative_writer even though I didn’t sleep to well. Had acupuncture and massage this morning so a headache in the afternoon, but I still pruned some plants. Some of the seeds I planted last week hace germinated. Hooray!
We had a little bit of rain so I put my indoor plants outside as the rainwater is good for them. Hoping we get some overnight rain.
Watching news. Hoping to sleep better tonight.
I have another painter coming to do a quote tomorrow and I’m picking up some plants in the afternoon.

Glad to hear you got out for a walk @creative_writer . Hope your day has been ok.
They’re forecasting rain, storms and possible hail for here tomorrow. Which is a bummer because I have to drive to pick up plants. Maybe it’ll clear up in the afternoon. Hope so.Want to drop in shops tomorrow too.
